As for the premise of Siren’s Rest, The Chinese Room had this to share:
Over a decade has passed since the Beira D incident. Now a groaning steel catacomb interred in the inky depths of the North Sea, the families of those workers who vanished without a trace want answers. They want the truth.
You are Mhairi, the leader of an expedition dive, determined to answer those questions and finally lay the mystery to rest.
But there are things lurking in the depths that even the sea cannot claim…
Still Wakes the Deep tells a story of the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. The base game takes place in 1975, as players fight for their lives through a vicious storm in the dark, freezing North Sea waters. The first-person narrative horror game comes from the team behind Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, Everybody’s Gone to the Rapture, and Dear Esther.
